5/22/26 - Color Dare Challenge #705 - Pop Up Petal

Happy Friday and today I have a floral card using Color Dare - Lemon Lime Twist/Granny Apple Green/Balmy Blue. I used a piece of DSP from Boardwalk Fun for the background which has shades of yellow and the sun, kind of looks like the sunflowers that I stamped. Yellow is always perfect for sunflowers and the vast is Balmy Blue. Hope you enjoyed this card and be sure to join us at the challenge.

5/20/26 - Pick 3 Challenge #5 - Blue Tone Card!

Happy Hump Day! Today's card is shared with Pick 3 Challenge and I used Blue/Plaid/Birthday for today's creation. I used a really fun Stack & Shuffle technique (Terri Gaines), but of course you can just create one card, like I did here. I used different shades of blue and pattern paper for this, mostly retired as you can see, but this card would be perfect for someone like me - who just LOVE blues! I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

Welcome back to our monthly challenge here at Cardz 4 Guyz and this time we are making Embossing Folder card! I used the embossing folder on vellum along with Fern & Floral for this card! I love this technique as it gives a little more texture on your creation. The ferns are die cut with different color of cardstock.
